Crockpot Irish Stew
I found a couple stews online for St. Patrick’s Day, involving potatoes and cabbage. I really wanted to make this stew last night and didn’t have those things on hand, so I decided to tweak a couple ingredients and came up with this beauty.
My pour veggie Darryl was left out of this dinner, but the girls and I LOVED it. I chopped up the veggies the night before, and then in the morning, dumped everything into the crockpot, and pushed GO! So very simple!
Hope you enjoy this yummy Crockpot Irish Stew !
Crockpot Irish Stew
- Combine all ingredients in slow cooker. Mix well.
- Cover and cook over LOW heat for 7.5-8 hours.
- NOTE: At about 7.5 hours, I added a cup of water…it looked like it needed a little more liquid.
- The kiddos really enjoyed this one. Little D called it the “best steak soup ever!!!” hehe I say this Crockpot Irish Stew is a winner!

Made this tonight. It was delicious! Thanks tor sharing
Colleen!!! Thank you so much for stopping by to let me know! How wonderful of you 🙂 XO
Do you think I could use lentils or rice in place of the barley? It looks so yummy, but I can’t have barley.
I have never made it with those… but lentils sound like they could be yummy. Farro would also work. Hope that helps! XO
The recipe says tomato sauce, but I see in the comments someone mentions paste… Does it make a difference? (Sorry, non-cooker over here.)
If you use paste, add about 1/2 or 1 cup of water. That will give you the same results as tomato sauce 🙂
Thank you! Already did the prep work. Can’t wait to get it in the crockpot first thing in the am. Happy St. Paddy’s Day!
I made this today and we just finished it. Wonderful! Thank you so much…everyone really enjoyed it! Hope you’re having a happy day! This week’s Homemaking Linkup is up and I would love to have you join, if you haven’t already.
